If enacted, this bill would introduce a new chapter to Title 11 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, specifically establishing the framework for the formation and operation of broadband service district authorities. The bill defines "authority" as a broadband service district authority and outlines its powers, which include facilitating the construction and maintenance of broadband infrastructure, managing funding, setting performance targets, creating policies for broadband technology deployment, entering contracts with private entities, accepting charitable donations, and applying for grants.

Additionally, the bill explicitly prohibits these authorities from imposing any taxes on individuals or businesses. This legislative update aims to enhance broadband service accessibility in underserved areas by empowering counties to take a more active role in broadband infrastructure development and management.
